- For
- Passive-cooling designers and hot-climate researchers
- Worth noticing
- The project’s 24-city screening says the design performs best in hot-dry regions and should not be relied on in humid tropical climates.
Field notes
The model combines wind and stack effects with evaporative cooling, a room heat balance, and first-order thermal mass, then compares simulated conditions with the ASHRAE 55 adaptive comfort criterion. The interface offers traditional and upgraded-design scenarios, unit and currency controls, and a day-playback option. The supplied extract leaves several numerical result fields blank and does not document physical prototype testing.
